Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 19, 1917.

Application filed April 28, 1917. Serial No. 165,117.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANNA D. ADAMS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet-Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to toilet receptacles and more particularly to that class of such devices used as receptacles for powder or the like, and the invention has for its primary obj eot the construction of a toilet receptacle adapted to form a useful and ornamental adjunct and toilet accessory.

WVith the foregoing and other objects in view as will from time to time hereinafter appear, this invention consists in the peculiar construction and novel arrangement of the various parts of a toilet receptacle as further described in the following specification and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings in which the same reference characters indicate the same parts wherever used,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device;

Fig. 2 is a top plan view in open position;

Fig. 3 is a vertical section, and

Fig. 4: is a bottom plan View in closed position of the stopper removed.

5 designates a powder jar or similar receptacle having a neck 6 which receives a hollow stopper 7 having an annular indentation 8 and a bell extension 9, the hollow stopper being adapted to receive a powder puff 10 and to hold the same therein.

The top of the bell extension 9 of the stopper 7 is covered with padding 11 of any suitable character, and which is held in place by a cloth cover 12 extending thereover and held in place within the indentation 8 by a strip 13. V

A cylindrical fabric member 14: has one end formed in a series of plaits 15 and held within the indentation 8 by a strip 16, the upper end thereof being provided with a puckering string 17 in order to close the same in folds 18 as shown in Fig. 1.

By the construction above described it will be seen that an ornamental and useful toilet article is provided which comprises a powder receptacle, powder pufi' holder, pin cushion and cover.

I realize that considerable variation is possible in the details of construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of my invention, and I therefore do not intend to limit myself to the specific form shown and described.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A device of the character described comprising a receptacle, a stopper therefor adapted to contain a powder puff, a pin cushion on said stopper and means for incasing said stopper.

2. A device of the character described comprising a receptacle, a stopper therefor, a powder puff carried by the stopper, a pin cushion on the stopper and means for incasing said stopper.

3. A device of the character described comprising a receptacle, a stopper therefor, a powder puif carried by the stopper, a pin cushion on the stopper and means for incasing said stopper, said means comprising a flexible member fastened at one end to the stopper and having its free end provided with closing means.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ANNA D. ADAMS.
